2012-01-23T08:51:00.001-08:00

Well things in 2011 had been fine, by end of 2011 started 5n business consultants, boutique firm specializing in writing Business plans had good 1st quarter made around 1,30 lakhs getting ahead in networking with Entrepreneurs, VC firms and making good contacts. New year 2012 comes at a time when i am establishing my consultancy firm which is completely by boot strapping, had good opening with 2012 first client came in by 1st week itself

Getting decent hits to my website www.5nbusinessconsultants.webs.com, doing things in right direction, its only matter of time when things start to change. Hope 2012 will give what i am looking in terms of good works and good contacts.

Have no ambition to have own house, or to own a car or any luxury just one thing which is keeping me alive is in span of 2yrs want to reach pretty decent levels in consulting.

Hoping 2012 will make my plan of MONEY EARNING MONEY successful rather than ME EARNING MONEY

Lots of expectations, hope things go according to it

Good luck

Things moving in right direction

2011-12-07T03:30:00.000-08:00

Well its been long time since i wrote, well things have changed a lot for the good and moving in right direction, from September started my own consultancy firm 5n business consultants got around 8 clients from September to November made a decent of 1.2 lacs going good learning new things of consultancy.

Got good private investors in my kitty and new tie ups with VC firms, things are changing for good

Business consultancy doing well

2011-09-26T22:54:00.000-07:00

Its been a month after starting boutique business consultancy firm, made decent moneys in first month total of 88,000 having completed 3 projects i.e I GLOW Tiles,Mobile application based Sarathy & Kids Campus. Things are going pretty fine, having talk with Vishal vasisth of song advisors and Nagesh Rao Duvvari of hermit capital. Things are moving in right direction

The best part happened was i sent my CV to song advisors only to see a reply in corporate style thanks for the interest will get back if there is any opening. Couldn't just digest this so i sent a Business plan and then was surprised to see the MD would like to talk

This incident has cleared two things one being that what business plans i am writing are of international standard and the strategy is good.

Just waiting for one BIG BREAK and leap into the Financial Investment Analysis.

Things are moving in right direction

2011-09-03T12:59:00.000-07:00

Things have started to roll out, meeting people, walking in right direction, things are shaping well, the path to top management is slowly shaping. people are referring my name to others which is definitively sign of positiveness, my business plans are being talk of the town, unexpected windows opening.

Looks bright for moving to decent earnings and decent positions

Hoping for good.

The transition has happened

2011-08-15T09:23:00.000-07:00

At last the transition of moving from media analyst to business analyst has happened, i have got an opportunity to work with a VC fund rising firm called Hrisos, i will be working with them as principal business analyst, writing business plans, strategy for their clients.

This has given me a new source of income and learning and gaining knowledge in more professional manner.

Had though it would take a long time, but allah has been very blessful to me which has made me get this opportunity.

The fact that my business plans are being accepted by people who have worked in international market, has made me thoughts be more concrete that what i learnt as hobby has been grown up professionally, well just waiting to rise in business analyst role to ultimate role of CEO

Hope that will also happen soon, It was quiet amazing that plan i had written for kids campus had reached Hrisos and they were thinking who is this guy, but when i met and showed the same they knew they found one who specilazies in writing business plans.

Thing are changing for better, infact the likeability of my plans has also given rise to a thought why not start business consultancy which will help me work from home by 45yrs.. that too optimistic

waiting for the best

Just one break needed

2011-07-20T02:36:00.000-07:00

Things are pretty fine, going on well, but know i think i am getting more addicted to grow and grow, i have realized the reason its not i want more power and successful. Lot of other things have made me feel lonely there is nothing in my hands except grow and grow.

My brain never stops to work, i just hate that though i keep quiet in mind it keeps calculating when to look for next.

Just waiting for one break to catapult me to financial world as business analyst, hope things will happen in life time

2011-05-01T10:58:00.000-07:00

Well nothing much in life things are fine going on. Have put in papers had enough of running around, need to give more time to health and family. Had enough of tensions, smoking and running around. Just near to nervous breakdown, no saturdays no sundays work work work. Saying aideu to media buying and planning career. Its painfull to leave as i worked hard my entire life to be what i am today. But i think i exhausted all the fuel to come to this level and now no fuel left to hold on.

Well lets where the life takes me

Problems when u r not responsible for problem

2011-02-23T00:40:00.000-08:00

It been full hectic with new year, had enough of flying continiously hopping cities, taking tension, making presentations, negotiations, pacifying the family for the loss of time, taking all the taunts from wife for not being at home when her mother visits.

Getting screwed from boss who doesnt understand what he told me to do is what i am doing, wife shouting from one end i know you are happy there so you are not comming, had enough of married to you, blah blah.

Laptop also takes its own advantage you give software runs which takes its own time in meanwhile boss ask has the report been generated and if you say you have put for run he will tell why is it taking so long, as if i am sitting inside the laptop and delaying it.

And when you come back your kids dont talk to you because you didnt bring gifts especially my son waiting for a plastic gun, poor guy you cant explain to him that in flights they dont allow toys which are in gun shape. Then you pacify him saying i will get you tommorrow.

You come to office next day and wanna submit vouchers for reimbursement, then accountant has his own process and looks like CBI officer investigating case.

You feel like kicking bucket, but you cant do as you dont have guts to do

Wow what pathetic life.

Farewell to 2010

2011-01-01T03:04:00.000-08:00
